Dengfu E10 Suspension/Wheel Options

No thats all. You only have to rework the upper part (see picture) of the yoke, the lower part doesnt need any rework, no contact to the seattube with 216 mm shock.

Wow that's cutting it close looks like only 2-3mm of space. can you only run 216x63 with coil shock or is it ok to run an airshock?

I tried both air and coil with no issues.

If anyone has an E10 frame with no shock mounted yet: can you tell me the eye to eye distance both fully extended and fully compressed? I have all parts except the shock. Waiting for mine to arrive from across the seas...

EDIT: found some info on page 2. 150mm fully compressed (stay bridge touching). That jibes up with a 215x65 shock but I would want to have it hit the bump stop first. That 150mm was for an XL size frame - would it be any different with smaller sizes? My frame is 19" which would be L size (the second largest)

biggest shock that fits is a 216x63 but you need offset bushings and grind the yoke.

one more time, any offset bushing aren't mandatory, only yoke machining necessary. It's my build, with mullet and 170 front travel. That's fine for me, i don't say that is the best way for everybody. Why saying that yours way is the only valid ?

may be that is my bad english fluent but "you need 1 offset bush and filing of the yoke" would not mean that you consider offset bushing mandatory ?
